Summary

A nodal analysis method for simulating inertance tube pulse tube refrigerators is introduced. The energy equation, continuity equation, momentum equation of gas, energy equation of solid are included in this model. Boundary condition can be easily changed to enable the numerical program calculate thermal acoustic engines, inertance tube pulse tube refrigerators, double inlet pulse tube refrigerators, and others. Implicit control volume method is used to solve these equations. With this numerical method, an example calculation of a large scale inertance tube pulse tube refrigerator is shown.
